MUCILAGE OR PASTE P O T.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 728,260, dated May 19,1903. Application filed December 22,1902. Serial No. 136,215. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN MAINE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented.certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage or Paste Pots, of whichthefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

The invention relates to an improved type of mucilage or paste pot ofthe class wherein a separate receptacle forming a water-reservoir isprovided for the brush; and the invention consists in combining thewater-reservoir with the main receptacle or pot in a novel and simplemanner, so that the entire capacity of the pot may be utilized as thepaste or mucilage reservoir.

The invention further consists in the pe-' culiar arrangement andcombination of the various parts of the device and in other details. ofconstruction, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth andillustrated.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof, the brush being removed.Fig. 3 is avertical section through the water-receptacle, brush, and aportion of the closure. Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 through awater'-receptacle, of slightly-difierent construction. Fig. 5 is afurther modification, and Fig. 6 is'a sectional view. V

In construction the device comprises a receptacle in the form of a-glassjar A,which constitutes the main reservoir for the paste or mucilage.The jar, as shown, is open at its top and has a screw-thread B formedabout the exterior of its neck.

0 designates a closure covering the jaropening, consisting, preferably,of a connecting member in the form of a screw-section E and a pivotedcap or cover section D. The

connecting device consists of a band thread- .ed to engage theneck-thread of the jar and provided with an inwardly-projecting flangeG. The band is further provided with a's'egmental section H of the sizeand form of the portion of tha'cover extending over the jaropening whenthe cover is in its open position. The connecting-section is furtherprovided with an inwardly-depending flange I in proximity to the sectionH and serves as a means for removing surplus mucilage or paste from thebrush.

J represents the water-receptacle, preferably cylindrical in form,projecting slightly within the neck of the bottle or jar and beingpreferably soldered to lJhGSCIBW-SGGUIOD at a point. designated by theletter a. The cover, or cap section is apertured, so as to be sleevedover the water-receptacle and to lie fiat upon the screw-section of theclosure, and it is held in contact with said screw-section by a collarb, preferably a bead formed in the water-receptacle.

1 0 represents a finger-piece upon the cap or cover section, by means ofwhich it is swung from its open to its closed position.

01 is a spring-catch for the cover, consisting of awire secured to thescrew-section and having a lateral member e, between which and theflange G the cover is adapted to pass and be held in place. I v

To cover the joint between the connecting and cap sections of theclosure, ,a depending flange f is formed upon one side of thecapsection, which when the cap is closed abuts against the band, and acomplementary flange g is formed uponthe screw-section extending upwardand inwardly,'jas illustrated, and

overlaps the cap or coverlwheiilclosed.

L represents a brush provided with. a suitable handle M, the lower end 0of which is stopper-shaped, sot-hat when the brush is inserted withinthe water-receptacle the-latter will be sealed by the brush-handle.

In Fig.4 I -hav e shown the water-receptacle provided'wit'h a lining P.In this case the lining is preferably a glass tube, the upper end ofwhich is closed or sealed by the brush-handle.

As a further modification of my invention .1 have shown in Fig. 5 thelining P extending through both members of the closure and adjustablyarranged within a guide Q. In this latter case the lining whichconstitutes the Water-receptacle may be pushed within the reservoir asthe contents of the latter is withdrawn, so as to occupy less space.

It will be obvious from the description of my invention and the variousforms illustrated that my improved mucilage or paste pot is susceptibleof many modifications with- ICC out in any manner departing from thespirit of the invention. I do not desire, therefore, to be limited tothe particular types illustrated.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A mucilage or paste pot, comprisinga receptacle constituting the reservoir for the paste or mucilage andhaving an opening at its top, a closure for the opening consisting of aconnecting member and a cap or cover pivoted thereto, and awaterreceptacle extending through said cap or cover at its point ofpivotal connection with the connecting member.

2. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle open at its topforming the paste or mucilage reservoir, a closure therefor having apivoted cover or cap section, and a Water-reservoir mounted upon theclosure forming the cover-pivot.

3. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle open at its top andhaving a screwthread formed eXteriorly about its neck portion, aremovable closure for the opening comprising a screw -section engagingthe threaded neck and a cap or cover pivoted to said section forhorizontal swinging movement, and a water-reservoir rigidly attached tothe screw-section of the closure and forming the pivot for the cap.

4. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle open at its topfprming a paste or mucilage reservoir, a closure therefor comprising aconnecting member and a cap or cover pivoted thereto, a water-reservoircarried by and extending through the closure forming the cap-pivot, anda lining for said water-reservoir.

5. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle open at its topforming the paste or mucilage reservoir, a closure therefor comprising aconnecting member and a cap or cover pivoted thereto, a spring-lock uponthe con necting-section for holding the cap or cover in its closedposition, and a water-reservoir carried by and extending through theclosure forming the cap-pivot.

6. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle open at its topforming a paste or mucilage reservoir, a closure for the openingcomprising an annular screw-section carrying integral therewith aninwardly-projecting flange and a laterally -extending segmental member,and a cap pivoted to the segmental member, a cylindrical water-receptwcle rigidly attached to said segmental member and projecting through thecap forming its pivot, and a collar upon the water-receptacle above thecap.

7. A mucilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle constituting thereservoir for the paste or mucilage and having an opening at its top, aclosure for said opening provided with a pivoted cap member, and areceptacle extending through the cap member at its pivot.

8. A mncilage or paste pot, comprising a receptacle constituting thereservoir for the paste or mucilage and having an opening at its top, aclosure for said opening provided with a cover or cap section pivoted toswing in a horizontal plane, and a receptacle supported upon the closureand extending above the cap or cover section.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN MAINE.
